Subject: Re: Internet connectivity
I concur that the problem is that there's no gateway defined in the
routing table. From what I know, Kevin's suggestion should have fixed it
in a distro-independent fashion. I'm not familiar with how SuSE has
networking configuration set up "under the hood". At this point, I'd try
to use YaST to delete eth1, save your settings (maybe even reboot), add
eth1 back using YaST, save settings, restart networking, then check the
routing table again. If the gateway entry isn't there, add it using the
route command, and it should work. Once it's working, you'll need to
find out where/why SuSE/YaST is (apparently) not getting it quite right.

P.S. The problem might also be that DHCP w/ wireless isn't working
entirely correct (gateway portion might be broken?). I'd try doing a
static configuration and see if that works.
